In this paper I will articulate my own philosophy to my success for years to come. I know that throughout my educational journey I will have many obstacles to face but eventually overcome in order to get closer to my goals. Also I acknowledge that learning new information is not going to be an easy task; but; one way that will help me with my learning abilities is relating the new information with previous information in every possible way as often as possible. Moreover, I will commit to show in my future tests and quizzes that I’m really capable in doing well. In the same vein, making wise choices such as staying at home studying and doing homework rather than going out and have fun will lead me to my success. If I want to achieve my goals I need to learn how to say no, for now education is my priority. Ever since I was a little boy, my mom used to tell me that I can be whoever I wish to be, as long as I go to school and really work hard. I am smart and I should not waste my passion for learning in something that will not take me anywhere. Furthermore, now that I am enrolled in college and have the opportunity that many does not, I feel compromise to show all the great things I can accomplish. Not to mention that I am motivated by my family, I have confidence on myself, I am focused, I am a hard working student; I know that I will do whatever it takes to accomplish my goal. In addition, I can now say that I became more organized with college, homework, and anything related with education. I have always been an organized student and I will continue to do so. Defiantly, playing video games and watch TV are activities that I do once I am done with important duties; it is a rule that I commit myself all the time so that I can follow the right direction towards my education. I know that college is nothing like High School where students usually get away with their responsibilities by doing sloppy work, skipping class and not doing...

PhilosophyPhilosophy is “the study of ideas about knowledge, truth, the nature and meaning of life, etc…; a particular set of ideas about knowledge, truth, and meaning of life; and a set of ideas about how to do something or how to live” (Philosophy, 2014, para. 1). Philosophy plays a huge role in all of our lives. Studding of philosophy influences our lives in many ways and has many purposes. Philosophy has five major branches metaphysis, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, and logic. Each of these branches plays a role with culture to develop thoughts in human beings by wondering, a dynamic process, the truth, and wisdom.
“Philosophy is an attempt to reason clearly and critically about all areas of experience: science, religion, art, politics, and mortality” (What is Philosophy, Para, 1). The purpose of philosophy is to try to understand and evaluate our most basics, beliefs, values, and to integrate them into a coherent view of each of us and the world around us (What is Philosophy, 2014).
Studying philosophy is important because it continues to play an important role in shaping the future of all human existence, Philosophy enhances personal growth, professional opportunities, improves reading skill, critical thinking, communication,...

...Reflection from and of EXperience: My Personal Education”
By: Rex B. Penuela
“Educating the mind without educating
the heart is no education at all.”
― Aristotle1
I. INTRODUCTION:
Guided by the quotation below:
"In modern times there are opposing views about the practice of education. There is no general agreement about what the young should learn either in relation to virtue or in relation to the best life; nor is it clear whether their education ought to be directed more towards the intellect than towards the character of the soul.... And it is not certain whether training should be directed at things useful in life, or at those conducive to virtue, or at non-essentials.... And there is no agreement as to what in fact does tend towards virtue. Men do not all prize most highly the same virtue, so naturally they differ also about the proper training for it."2
This paper will showcase the author’s “PersonalPhilosophy of Education” illuminated and drawn from established philosophy of education by notable Philosophers. Philosophers whose works and philosophical treatises have help in the shaping and in the formulation of what we now know and accepted as “Philosophy of Education.”
The author of this paper hopes that this endeavor may help him in providing quality holistic learning to his students.
II. A BRIEF RECALL: REVISITING THE ESTABLISHED PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
1....

...A person’s philosophy will vary depending on one’s life experience. I believe that no two people will have seen life in the same way. There would be many people that have similar philosophy on life but none of them would be exactly the same. I will share my ideas and thoughts on what is my philosophy of life. The way that I have experienced life has made me change my way of thinking more than once, am sure it will change again. What is my purpose in life? What is anybody’s purpose in life? That’s a question that we all deal with, why are we here, what is the point of life? There is the thought that are purpose of life only known by God. That he has chosen it for before we were ever born, and that part of the reason is to be here for someone else. If I would have asked this questions three four years ago I would have answered with, I have no idea.
Back then I really had known idea why am here, or what am supposed to be doing. It seemed that all I cared about was materialized through conviction and faith. I prayed and it seemed to happen. Likewise, I worked hard to reach my goals. I would live with the philosophy of, live one day at a time (cited from the book entitled: Happiness Now by: Andrew Matthews).Rushing of reaching your goals would be dangerous. Since then I have not worried of getting old because I know things would happen one day at a time. Taking my master’s degree was just a mere dream of mine 8 years...

Education is the key to the success of student’s in school today there are philosophies that structure the way an educator direct the class. Essentialism is one of the key concept focuses in school system first following the standard curriculum is important to implement on the journey for higher learning if it is achieved than the success rate will be greater. Teachers are designed to obtain knowledge from attending college, workshops and other resources by learning from these tools it give them the ability to past on to student eager to learn. Starting as an Elementary Teacher the goal would be to supply the students mind with all of the information. Essentialism is the philosophy that stands out for what is required from the facilitator and the school. Getting to know each child and the academic need is very important because he or she need to feel confident and comfortable in the surrounding also familiarizing the class with guidelines and what is expect for the behavior as stated in the school handbook.
Motivation is another key factor because it will result in goals to be met throughout the education. If a classroom has a...

The Apology written by Plato’s is an excellent piece of philosophical literature that can teach us many things. Most importantly this fine literature gives us the utmost insight into the philosophy of Socrates’. As well it teaches us the idea of asking questions and probing for answers when we don’t understand so we can uncover the truth and learn rather than thinking we know and being ignorant. The intention here is to describe the philosophy of Socrates’ and use what I’ve learned from his ideas to present my own beliefs on what philosophy is and relate it to my personal life. The start of the essay will be devoted to deciphering the ethics and ideals of Socrates’ philosophy and describing the three key components being Socratic method, irony and ethos as well as how they are engrained with Socrates’ belief that, “the unexamined life is not worth living.” During the second portion of the essay I will discuss my belief that philosophy is the process of consistently asking questions to gain understanding and insight to life’s mysteries and challenges. Similar to Rauhut I would describe philosophy as open questions but I would conclude that...

...﻿DESCRIBE YOUR OWN PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION. WHAT EDUCATION MEANS TO YOU AND HOW IT CAN BE ACHIEVED, WHAT METHOD OF LEARNING YOU BELIEVE IS THE BEST, WHAT ADVANTAGES DISTANCE LEARNING AND PERSONALIZED LEARNING HAS ETC.
To describe 'education' in the simplest form is the process of teaching and or learning. This encompasses the theory and the process of achieving enlightenment or knowledge and understanding.
All human beings on this planet require knowledge to survive and without it even biblically it has been mentioned that people perish. It is therefore important in my personal life to be knowledgeable enough in all areas of human endeavour. I would like to describe my personal belief about knowledge epistemologically according to George F. Kneller, 1964. “Knowledge is a universal matter and aims to discover what is involved in the process of knowing. It asks questions such as: Is there something common to all the different activities to which we apply the term “ knowing”? Is knowing a special sort of mental act? If so, what is the difference between knowledge and belief? Can we know anything beyond the objects with which our senses acquaint us?
The theory of knowledge has ideas about how people think and feel despite not having a claim to an explanation scientifically. I believe just as Kneller, 1964 asserted that there are about 6 different types of knowledge as explained below:
1. REVEALED KNOWLEDGE
This is the kind of...

PersonalPhilosophy of Supervision
I believe that each student is a person who needs a safe, caring, and stimulating environment in which they can grow emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. As a teacher it is my desire that each student reached their fullest potential in each of these areas by providing them a warm, safe, caring and cooperative environment in which they work and play in. As a future administrator the philosophy and the game changes quite a bit. As a supervisor you must know where you are going before you can ever get there. The main attraction of education is, “that it can help children and young people to develop skills for thinking critically, reflectively and reasonably”.(Biesta, 2011, p. 305)
As a supervisor my main objective will be to improve teacher instruction and effectiveness. By improving the teacher this will help improve the students within the school. As for the students I would like to see them grow academically, socially, and emotionally each and every school day while under my supervision. For this objective to be met I must keep revisiting my purpose. Every situation within a school is not the same. How these situations are handled can play a vital role in how the school responds to my supervision. This...

...“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” (Angelou, 2009) This is a truth that I have witnessed firsthand. As a child, at the tender age of seven years, I was blessed with an educator, Mrs. Cager, whose commitment to her students was so profound until I have never forgotten her. She made me feel like I was the most important person in her classroom. Her encouraging words instilled a level of confidence within me that I still cling to and apply more than 40 years later. Her commitment is directly responsible for my personalphilosophy of education also being commitment.
Other philosophies of education like dedication, responsibility, diligence, honor, and respect, all fall under the umbrella of commitment. For it is impossible to be committed to something without also being dedicated to that same thing. Dedication is defined as self-sacrificing devotion and in many ways is synonymous with commitment. Commitment embraces responsibility. Children are entrusted into the hands of teachers and it is the responsibility of the teacher not to abuse that trust. One has to be diligent in order to keep the commitment that was made. If diligence is absent frustration, disappointment, change, and indifference will cause deterrence from the commitment. Honor and respect are characteristics that befalls the educator as all of the children who have...
